Severe Weather Halts Valencia Rail Services

Published: 2024-10-30

Severe weather conditions, known as DANA, have caused significant disruptions to rail services in the Valencian Community.

The high-speed rail line between Madrid and Valencia, along with connections to Barcelona, Murcia, and other regions, has been suspended due to infrastructure damage.

The Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, stated that resuming services within the next four days seems unlikely.

The suspension has affected around 24,000 passengers, with Renfe and other operators like Iryo and Ouigo canceling numerous services.

The reactivation of train services depends on weather improvements and emergency service directives.
